Author's Comments

Talking about his new novel, Dr. Kalyan C. Kankanala said, "I thoroughly enjoyed writing the novel, and I hope readers will like it. This is my third and last novel in the IP Legal Thriller Series with Arjun Mamidi as the lead character.

The novel is based on the theme of traditional knowledge and bio Piracy, one of the most debated IP subjects in India. Like my earlier novels, I have tried my best to write an entertaining and thrilling page turner without losing sight of the IP concepts that form the foundations of the story. As always, I am eager to hear from the readers if I got this novel right."
